Pinus gerardiana
Pinus gerardiana, known as the chilgoza pine (Urdu: چلغوزا پائن in Persian it means 40 nuts in one cone:چهل و غوزه), noosa, or neoza, is a pine native to the northwestern Himalayas in eastern Afghanistan, Pakistan, and northwest India, growing at elevations between 1800 and 3350 metres. It often occurs in association with blue pine (Pinus wallichiana) and deodar cedar (Cedrus deodara).
The trees are 10-20(-25) m tall with usually deep, wide and open crowns with long, erect branches. However, crowns are narrower and shallower in dense forests. The bark is very flaky, peeling to reveal light greyish-green patches, similar to the closely related lacebark pine (Pinus bungeana). The branchlets are smooth and olive-green. The leaves are needle-like, in fascicles of 3, 6–10 cm long, spreading stiffly, glossy green on the outer surface, with blue-green stomatal lines on the inner face; the sheaths falling in the first year. The cones are 10–18 cm long, 9–11 cm wide when open, with wrinkled, reflexed apophyses and an umbo curved inward at the base. The seeds (pine nuts) are 17–23 mm long and 5–7 mm broad, with a thin shell and a rudimentary wing.
Neja (singer)
Agnese Cacciola (born August 15, 1972), best known as Neja, is an Italian dance and pop-jazz singer.
Background
Born in Turin, as a child Cacciola studied piano and, as a teenager, she started singing jazz and gospel. In 1996 she released her first single as Neja, "Hallo", followed in 1998 by "Restless" and "Shock" which both charted in several dance charts across Europe. In 1999 with her song "The Game" she participated in Festivalbar and won the Un disco per l'estate festival. In 2008, the album Acousticlub marked a stylistic turn with electronic arrangements replaced by jazz and acoustic sounds. As of 2013, she sold over 4 million records.

Back 4 the Morning - EP
by: NejaIt´s not a secret you´ll agree with me,
our parents bug us if we want to set us free.
If I don´t get the highest grades at school,
there is no way to do the things I wanna do.
Tonight my mother told me
"I will give you another chance,
but I think you´d better come back
before it gets too late".
If you wanna dance
Come on take this chance
Cause I wanna thrill to make it real
I´ll be back to you like you want me to
But don´t wait for me
I´ll be back 4 the morning
My mother´s home she waits for me awake
"Look at the watch, girl, don´t you think that
it´s too late?
As long as you live in this house with me.
you´ve gotta show me if you have responsability".
This time she looks so angry,
she won´t give me another chance,
so I think I´d better come back
before it gets too late.
